Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1911. A GOOD FRIEND GONE. In the recent death, at Washington, D. C., of Justice John M. Harlan, the Afro-American has lost one of their staunchest and most consistent friends. It is stated on good authority that the supreme court of the United States has never rendered a decision favorable to the Afro-American, along the lines of either civil or political liberty, as a citizen of the United States, but it is a well known fact that when such cases were decided unfavorably to the Afro-American, Justice Harlan was always a dissenter. And he did not simply vote and say nothing, but he nearly always stated his objections in an unmistakable manner, using the vigorous English that was peculiarly his own. The Afro-American, nowadays, has so few real friends, who believe in and advocate the brotherhood of man, that the loss of Justice Harlan is a most severe blow. The crusade that has been going on against impure food for a long time has resulted in much good to consumers. It has been the means of --- --- PURE FOOD. M. H. PRESIDENT TAFT. Who is Now on His 13,000 Mile Trip to "Win the West." P. RT. REV. JAMES AN DERSON HANDY, D. D. Noted Bishop of the A. M. E. Church Who Died Oct. 5th in Baltimore, Md., aged Eighty-four years. His F funeral Occurred Last Tuesday. bringing to light the nefarious manner in which manufacturers have preyed upon and deceived the public. Of course the big concerns and trusts have thrown all the possible obstacles in the way of the progress toward the protection of the health and lives of the people but despite their opposition, the march toward protection from unscrubulous manufacturers has been going on and each day brings us nearer the goal. Heretofore the laws have only punished by fines, for its infraction, but if the law makers will go a step farther and add imprisonment to the punishment of offenders against the law, there will be a much more rapid progress toward the desired end. Comparatively few people are aware of the extent to which adulterations and substitutions are used. While the labels are supposed to tell the character of the contents of the package they are really no guarantee. For instance a big vinegar manufacturing concern of a big city sold vinegar under a label that justified the purchaser in the belief that he was getting pure, apple cider vinegar when as a matter of fact the vinegar of that concern in question did not contain one drop of pure, apple cider vinegar. The destroying of 175 crates of rotten eggs which were discovered in cold storage and destroyed by the officers of the law but no one was fined or imprisoned. There are hundreds of dangerous drugs and concoctions sold every day that carry death and destruction with them yet nothing is done further than a fining of the parties caught dispensing them. If we will take the offenders and fill our prisons with them a marked decrease will soon be noticed in the sale of such impure things to be placed in the human stomach. Though the courts have decided that "a wife cannot steal from her husband," there is a husband in "The City of Magnificent Distances," who demurs. He awoke the other night and found his wife going through his pockets; he said nothing, but drawing a revolver from under his pillow he shot at her twice without hitting her. The shooting awoke a nearby policeman and he forced an entrance to the house, arrested the husband, and he was kept in durance vile for the rest of the night. At the trial next morning, womanlike, she refused to prosecute her husband, and he was released. We presume she was ashamed of his poor marksmanship, and promised not to tempt him to a further exhibition of it by a repetition of the act that caused the near tragedy. This, however, ought to serve as a warning to other spouses who have the habit, that the aforementioned court decision, or law, is one that few husbands feel bound to respect. A call has been made for the meeting of the Republican National Committee at Washington, D. C. on Dec. 12. There will be much for the committee to consider other than the meeting place of the National Convention and the meeting will be continued until these matters have been completed. It will require very careful consideration to adjust matters successfully. It is stated that Secretary Wilson has tendered his resignation to take effect Nov. 15, or as soon thereafter as President Taft may elect. Secretary Wilson has been the right man in the right place, and his retirement from the President's household is to be regretted. The Chinese revolution is assuming quite large proportions and the revolutionists in this country are rendering all the financial aid they can. One Chinaman, a laborer, gave up his life savings, amounting to $1,000, for the good of the cause. The divine Sarah Bernhardt, who knows something about almost everything else, is about to learn to play golf. Just think of it, and at her age too. We presume she intends to demonstrate that age is nothing, and blood will tell. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claims that he at least got as near to the North pole as any man did, has gone to Europe to attempt to prove his claim. The ubiquitous doctor, like Banquo's ghost, will not down. The National Democratic Committee will meet in Washington January 8, 1912, and the work of selecting a candidate for slaughter next November will be formally inaugurated. A prosperous farmer in Wisconsin, aged 65, celebrated on last Sunday the birth of his twenty-fourth child. That's going some in the child line. Whatever else may have happened, the artist who painted "Mona Lisa" is getting a lot of free advertising. And new Spain is in the throes of a revolution. The outlook for the formation of a republic is good. WASHINGTON GOSSIP To Auction Off Decrepit Warships This Country Full of Foreign Spies Draughtsmen Separated From Pay-Roll WASHINGTON.—If Uncle Sam wanted to go into the summer resort business, now would be his golden opportunity. He has scores of chances to acquire for a song hotel and resort property of great scenic beauty, though possibly of little commercial value, according to the agents booming them. Whether Uncle Sam will "bite" will depend upon the national forestry commission. The efforts to sell are being made under the Weeks' Forestry law, otherwise known as the Appalachian Forest Reserve act. Last spring, when advertisements were issued for land to be purchased with the $11,000,000 appropriated by that law, the rush began. It has continued since then until nearly every owner of a "busted," down-at-the-heel summer resort in the mountain sections of the southeastern states and New England has tried to unload upon the government. The offers are still coming in. Already over 2,000,000 acres have been offered for sale to the government. All of this is not summer resort property, but a considerable proportion of it is. The resort property is not offered for the buildings on it, but for the beautiful "parks" about them, which are always heavily timbered and suitable for forestry purposes, according to the promoters. If all the land offered were to be bought THE contemplated sale by the United States government of 43 warships classed as obsolete in the latest navy report will open an extensive field to the battleship broker. The let will include battleships, armored and protected cruisers, monitors and gunboats. Rapid development in the building of dreadnoughts has caused battleships and other war craft which ten years ago were considered formidable, to fall behind present requirements. Consequently the government plans to get rid of them, either by breaking them up and selling them as junk, or disposing of them to South American republics. Among the battleships classed as obsolete are the Kearsarge, Kentucky, Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Indiana, Ohio, Oregon, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. It cost to build them $64,405,225. When the Kearsarge and the Kentucky were put in commission several years ago they were among the finest battleships afloat. Their batteries of seven-inch guns were impressive, but now, compared with ships like the Delaware, the Michigan, the Florida, they seem insignificant. The cruisers doomed to the scrap heap are the Brooklyn, New York, St. Louis, Charleston and Milwaukee. The Brooklyn was Admiral Schley's flag MILITARY BREAKDOWN SPIES, according to reports in Washington, are still at work finding out for the nations which they represent the secrets of this country's defense. Not satisfied with their "military attaches"—sometimes called the title of a spy not in disguise—these nations, directly or indirectly, have been working all the time throughout the world collecting information. This information is of every sort; economic, geographical, commercial, but especially military. It is the first duty of these men to report all details they can gather of the fortifications in the country to which they are assigned. All this information is eventually filed in the vaults of the general staff, and on it, to a large degree, depends the preparedness of the country for war. In New York itself there are doubtless many spies besides the consuls. Some years ago a young lieutenant in a foreign army spent his vacation on this side of the Atlantic, admittedly reporting to his government the various activities of the United States, es- EIGHTY draughtsmen, whose annual salaries aggregate a quarter of a million dollars, were dispensed with at the end of last month. This force has been busy for years making individual plans for the government's public buildings throughout the land. The treasury officials, in taking stock of cash on hand, found that they had only money enough to pay these draughtsmen. Therefore they asked congress for $200,000 to keep them on the payroll for the next nine months, completing the fiscal year. But there was nothing extra coming from congress to meet such a situation and it was suggested that as the government has over six hundred drawn plans for all kinds of pubite buildings the draughtsmen could be dispensed with and new buildings authorized built upon plans already made use of. Of course without the necessary money the treasury officials had to let the draughtsmen go. The old practice of carrying clerks when there was no money to pay them with and having congress make up the deficit when it would probably cost Uncle Sam $100,000,000 instead of $11,000,000. One of the leading summer resort "forest reservations" which the government has been asked to buy is the Natural Bridge in Virginia, for which something like a quarter of a million is wanted. Accompanying the offer was a beautiful painting of the bridge, which was great for scenic beauty, but did not seem to be much for timber. No charge was made for the picture, it was explained. The promoter of this property did not admit it, but it is well known that the Natural Bridge died a natural death in recent years. A large number of other resort and hotel properties in the White Mountains and the much advertised "Land of the Sky," or "Sapphire Country," of Carolina are being offered to the government at ridiculous prices—whether ridiculously high or ridiculously low will be for the forestry commission to say. Officials of the forest service have mapped out certain areas within which it is thought desirable to buy land for the protection of forests and the conservation of stream flow. Some of these areas include summer resorts; but that does not mean that the forest service wants those resorts purchased. Certain big White Mountain hotels want the government to buy whole mountains so that the trees thereon will be preserved for the benefit of their guests. Lands are being pressed upon the government for $50 to $100 an acre, but few if any of these will be bought. Most of the purchases which the forestry commission will authorize will probably be cut-over and waste lands which can be obtained for a few dollars an acre. ship at the battle of Santiago. The total cost of these is $20,550,276. The unarmored cruisers that were serviceable in the Spanish war, but in a modern sea battle couldn't approach the enemy within ten miles or more, are the Olympia, Dewey's flagship at the battle of Manila bay; the Raleigh, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston, Marblehead, Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Montgomery, Minneapolis, and Columbia. Total cost, $25,965,782. Warship brokers in this country naturally will look to South America as the most likely field for business. Argentina and Brazil are setting the pace for dreadnoughts, and the smaller republics, which might wish to follow their example, may find it cheaper and more economical to buy battleships of the type of the Kentucky and the Kearsarge. Such of the smaller republics as wish to increase the strength of their navies, being unable to order dreadnoughts, probably will try to make a bargain with Uncle Sam or else employ the battleship broker. pecially in some of their island protectorates. He returned to his home country, and nothing more was heard of him for several years. One day toward the end of 1910 a man who had met this officer on his first visit was much surprised to meet him again on a ferryboot at New York city. The officer was dressed in civilian clothes and either did not recognize his former acquaintance or pretended not to recognize him. When addressed, however, he readily acknowledged his identity. He said he was in this country permanently and was working in a factory on Staten Island. This factory was within half an hour's walk of some of the most important fortifications on the Atlantic seaboard. The fact was enough to make the acquaintance suspicious. Here was a man who had been an officer in a foreign army, who had at one time admittedly represented his country on an inspection tour, and who suddenly turned up six years after in civilian clothes and said that he was working regularly in a factory close to a great fortress. Some time later the acquaintance called up the factory to see if the man was still there. He was not, but had left shortly after the interview on the ferryboat. convenient does not appeal to the officials in the departments any longer. Several years ago a law was passed making it an offense for an official to create a deficit or to use money appropriated for one specific purpose for another purpose for which the regular appropriation had become exhausted. Not only will there be a saving of $250,000 for the present fiscal year, but there will also go on indefinitely a saving of a quarter of a million dollars each year; for the treasury officials have let the draughtsmen go for good. There are now in the United States, erected and in use, 662 public buildings, costing from $25,000 to $8,000,000 each, the last named figure being the cost of the New York custom house.

George Sidney, the funny little comedian to be seen at the head of "The Busy Izzy" Company at the Grand the week commencing Sunday matine, Oct. 22, is an actor who has no counterpart on the American stage. There are many comedians who essay the Hebrew role. There are some who have won enviable reputations doing so Sidney has created a Hebrew which emphasizes the Hebrew faith who witness the comedian's work. His characterization is not a burlesque, neither is it an imitation of any of the many types of this much abused character. "Izzy" as played by Mr. Sidney is a jolly little fellow, more sinned against than sinning, ever alert for fun, a laugher as well as a laugh maker, always ready to invest in any airy scheme which may be broached, and on this account always losing money without learning the lesson of providence. This comedian's work is too well known to call for any comment. Miss Carrie Webber is to be Mr. Sidney's chief aldea in the fun-making, and assisting them will be found Dick Hume, Nick Basil, Frank Gibbons, and James Hunt, Lottie Liscord and an exceptionally large and clever chorus. TOO EXPENSIVE A SOUVENIR Denomination of Note Was a Little Larger Than Mr. Vernon Had Bargained For. When William T. Vernon decided to give up his position as register of the treasury he wanted to take away with him as a souvenir of his public service the first bank note on which he had put his signature All the money issued in the form of bank notes while he had been registrar had, as a matter of law, his signature on it. The money, having been put in circulation, says the Popular Magazine had been sent back to the treasury, redeemed by new notes, and then had been marked for destruction in the macerator. Therefore, the only way he could get the old note he desired was to redeem it in real money. He had figured that he could afford to pay one dollar for the old, worn-out dollar note. Having been informed by the treasurer's office that he could get the first note he had ever signed if he would call for it and redeem it with new money, he went to see the treasurer. "Here you are, Mr. Vernon," said that official. "All right," said Vernon. "I'll redeem it." He had already taken out his pocket book when he chanced to glance at the old bank note. Then he swayed as if he had been struck in the face. That old note called for ten thousand dollars. THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN B. HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN B.

TEMPTING MARKS FOR BOLTS Lofty Spires of Churches Are Dangerous Because They Are Often Struck by Lightning. The reaction from the intense heat of the past few days, which in various sections has taken the form of electrical storms of almost phenomenal destructiveness, has played exceptional havoc with the churches of New England. As many as a half dozen have been struck by lightning in this state alone, and in almost every instance the structure has been of the familiar style of architecture that was instituted by our forefathers and has been more or less cherished ever since. Somewhat squarely built, with a lofty spire, the New England meeting house has been a familiar feature to the New England worshiper wherever he might find himself, and though all else was strange, that made him feel that he was in his own country. The lofty spire, however, has proved an element of danger according to our recent experience. In almost every instance, as the reports run, the bolt "struck the steepe" and traveled downward. In rural communities, especially where the church rises above most of the surrounding buildings and is crowned by a tapering tower as high as the main structure, it seems to offer a special challenge to the raging elements, whether they take the form of wind or lightning. The "White church" at West Springfield, which suffered yesterday, had been struck twice previously during the past ten years, and in Wibraham, Brookfield and other places it was upon the spires that the destructive force alighted.—Boston Transcript. MUST LISTEN TO SPEECHES Members of British House of Commons Have No Diversions Provided for Them. The close physical contact between the 650 members of the British house of commons, in a room not half the size of our house of representatives, brings the debater at the desk and the assembled body within close range to each other. There are no swivel chairs and desks upon which to write or to idle time away while a debate is in progress. The members sit in stiff-backed, long wooden benches like those in the old schoolhouse. If a member is not present at the opening of the session no seat or "bouquet" is reserved for him. Not one member was seen reading the paper, pasting on postage stamps or enjoying diversions such as those at Washington. They must at least make a petence of paying attention through the proceedings, although the various postures of some of the members suggested the typical court room scene, where the jurymen are under direct glance of judge and counsel—now bored, now interested, but always right there with in the optical vision of the speaker—"A Peep at Parliament," Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine. Success and Luck. A Paris newspaper has been asking eminent Frenchmen to state what they think the influence of chance is upon success in life. Many of them have amiably responded, the topic being obviously one of those admirable mid-summer themes on which one man's opinion is as good as another's and which can be discussed till cooler weather comes without arriving at a sure basis of judgment. The replies, indeed, vary according to the taste and temperament of the several authorities invoked. Some of them rate luck very high; others put it wholly so of the reckoning. The composer Massenet gave a cynical turn to the discussion by avowing that, for his part, he believed absolutely that good fortune was the determining element to the success—of others. $1 MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

FINDING THE COMSTOCK LODE Far Reaching Results of the Rich Strike of Silver Made in June, 1859. "You've struck it, boys." Thus said Henry Paige Comstock to Peter O'Riley and Patrick McLaughlin, who were his fellow prospectors in a search for gold in Six Mile canyon, now the present Virginia City, the capital of Nevada. The date was June 10, 1859. In that remote spot in the American wilderness, by these three obscure men, was made on that day a discovery destined to affect the current of American politics for a score of years, says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly, and to have for long a disturbing influence on the world's finances. The thing which was "struck" on that June day of 1859 was the vein covering what came to be known as the Comstock lode, in which were hidden the richest deposits of silver ever found anywhere on the globe. Their development, years afterward, simultaneously with that of the silver mines of Colorado, started the downward flood in the price of silver, which broke the old ratio between the money metals, changed the monetary system of the leading nations from the double to the single gold standard; inched the movement beginning in 1877, under the leadership of Richard P. Bland, for the reopening of the mints in silver on the same terms as to gold; led hence to the passing of the Bland-Allison limited silver-coinage law of 1878, and to that of the Sherman silver-bullion-deposit act of 1890; and was the issue which split the two great parties and made havoc among the smaller ones in 1896, resulting in the act of 1900, which gave statutory recognition to the gold standard in the United States. The governor of Zavantin Penal Settlement in Russia has been killed by an unknown man.
